As opposed to your completely disrespectful, dismissive, and insulting 
attitude towards the admins here?

>This is a user who has been wronged repeatedly.

Nonsense.

>Wikipedia.

Well, except 3RR violation.  You keep forgetting that.

>His user page has been repeatedly vandalized

Whose fault is that?  Not the admins here.

>and he has been repeatedly accused of being a sockpuppet based on where he 
>edits.

No, based on his IP address, and his editing styie.  You seem not to 
comprehend that.

>From the very first email he sent to this list I saw nothing but list 
>members being dismissive and rude.

It's not the first time "Cranston" has e-mailed this list.

>Good Faith was NEVER assumed concerning this user. The entire list broke 
>its own rules and refused to deal straightforwardly with a user who was 
>being harassed and abused.

Nonsense.  As I said above, it's not the first time "Cranston" has e-mailed 
this list.

>We should be above this sort of behavior. The point of Wikipedia policy is 
>to rehabilitate editors if at all possible, not harass newcomers into 
>leaving.

No, the point of Wikipedia policy is to create a great encyclopedia, not to 
rehabilitate editors who break policy.

Jay.
